vmm  HISTORICAL  SURVEY 


The  city  moves  to  the  country 


"PLECTRICITY  builds 
cities.  Without  electric 
elevators,  pumps  and  fans,  the 
tall  buildings  would  be  lifeless 
piles  of  steel.  Without  elec- 
tric cars,  city  streets  could 
not  accommodate  the  crowds. 

But  now,  having  made  the 
modern  city,  electricity  is 
making  the  country.  Wher- 
ever electric  lines  lead  out 
from  the  city,  you  find  sub- 
urban property  values  en- 
hanced, suburban  life  made 
comfortable,  and  waste  land 
blossoming  into  homes. 

The  automobile  helps.  The 
motor   bus  helps  more.     But 


the  trolley  and  interurban 
cars  are  more  important  still. 
Sixteen  billion  Americans 
rode  on  electric  lines  last  year 
— 145  rides  per  capita  of  ouf 
entire  population! 

This  is  an  impressive  record 
for  a  utility  that  is  still  young. 
The  first  complete  electric 
railway  system  in  the  United 
States  was  installed  in  Rich- 
mond, Virginia,  in  1888.  It 
was  a  quaint,  almost  an  exper- 
imental car-line.  But  it  in- 
troduced a  new  economy  in 
transportation,  a  new  epoch 
in  the  art  of  making  homes. 


General  Electric  Company  builds  motors  that  last  a  generation 
in  service  and  lont rolling  devices  that  make  electric  transportation 
one  of  the  safest  means  of  travel  in  the  world.

Pershing  Road 
Development 

On  June  9,  1921.  General  John  J.  Pershing 
(Black  Jack  of  the  World  War)  paid  a  visit 
to  the  Pershing  Road  tract  of  The  Central 
Mfg.  District. 

Since  that  time  the  development  of  Persh' 
ing  Road  has  been  one  of  the  phenomena  of 
Chicago's  giant  strides  forward.  The  visit  of 
this  great  leader  marked  the  inception  of,  and 
gave  impetus  to,  rapid  construction  of  a  high- 
way to  link  the  Forest  Preserve  to  the  Lake. 

Today  Pershing  Road  is  rapidly  nearing  com- 
pletion. All  along  the  thoroughfare  we  have 
important  activities  growing  larger  with  time. 
It  will  be  more  than  obvious  to  those  who 
acquire  property,  fronting  or  adjacent  to  this 
great  street,  that  they  will  have  a  share  in 
Chicago's  future  profits. 

The  same  vision  that  associated  it  with  other 
great  trends  of  Chicago  progress  accounts  for 
the  J.  W.  McCormack  Company's  presenta- 
tion of  choice  property  fronting  on  Pershing 
Road.  The  investing  public  has  come  to 
regard  its  sponsoring  as  a  connotation  of 
Success — prestige  won  by  sound  judgment, 
integrity  and  safety.

CHICAGO 

r\f  /I  )lTH  a  population  of  3,000,000,  Chicago  is  the  fourth  larg- 
^^)  I  11  /est  city  in  the  world.    It  covers  an  area  of  two  hundred 
\J\y  square  miles  and  is  twentysix  miles  long  and  fifteen  miles 
wide.   Its  frontage  on  Lake  Michigan  is  twenty-two  miles. 

The  city  had  its  beginning  in  the  establishment  of  Fort  Dear- 
bom  at  the  mouth  of  the  Chicago  River  in  1803.  When  it  was 
incorporated  in  1833  it  consisted  of  a  settlement  of  fifteen  houses 
grouped  around  the  fort  and  covering  an  area  of  three'eighths  of 
a  square  mile.    Lots  sold  as  low  as  $1.25  each. 

Today  the  assessed  valuation  of  Chicago  is  more  than  $1,000,' 
000,000  and  its  manufactured  products  are  worth  $6,500,000,000. 

The  city  has  some  of  the  most  beautiful  parks  in  the  world  con- 
nected by  an  elaborate  boulevard  system. 

It  has  the  world's  largest  municipal  pier,  constructed  at  a  cost 
of  $5,000,000. 

It   has  the   largest  livestock   market  in   the  world,  the   Union 
Stock  Yards,  occupying  an  area  of  five  hundred  acres  with  switch 
yards  totaUing  three  hundred  miles  of  tracks. 
,  Developing  in  accordance  with  plans  which  look  far  into  the 

future,    Chicago   is   rapidly   becoming   the   most   beautiful   city   in 
America.    Millions  of  dollars  are  spent  in  improvements  annually. 

To  the  visitor  the  city  is  replete  with  interest.  The  beautiful 
parks  and  extensive  bathing  beaches,  the  art  and  scientific  museums, 
the  hundreds  of  statues  and  historic  spots,  the  great  industries,  the 
well-stocked  shops  and  wonderful  department  stores,  the  delightful 
summer  climate  and  the  advantages  of  Lake  Michigan  all  contri' 
bute  to  the  value  of  Chicago  as  a  vacation  city. 

Every  section  of  the  city  can  be  reached  quickly  and  con- 
veniently by  the  Chicago  Surface  Lines,  the  largest  street  railway 
system  in  the  world.  More  than  1,000  miles  of  track  cover  the 
city  with  a  gridiron  service  surpassed  by  no  other  transportation 
agency  in  any  large  city. 

The  free  transfer  system  makes  it  possible  to  ride  thirty-seven 
I  miles  for  one  fare  and  the  average  ride  per  fare  is  more  than  four 
r       miles. 

Transfers  are  issued  upon  request  at  the  time  fares  are  paid  and 
are  good  at  intersecting  point  on  a  crossing,  diverging  or  extension 
line,  for  a  continuous  trip  in  an  onward  direction.  They  are  void 
15  minutes  after  the  time  punched. 

In  the  outlying  sections  the  "skip-stop"  system  is  used.  Stopping 
places  for  cars  are  indicated  by  a  white  band  painted  on  poles 
supporting  the  trolley  wires. 

For  lost  articles,  call  the  Company  switchboard.  Dearborn  8800, 
giving  as  nearly  as  possible  the  car  line  and  the  time.  Articles  un- 
claimed in  thirty  days  are  returned  to  the  finders.

EVERYWHERE  BY  SURFACE  LINES 

CT^  HE  Chicago  Surface  Lines  not  only  constitute  the  largest  street 
v^y  car  system  in  the  world,  but  are  also  remarkable  because  they 
provide  the  longest  ride  for  one  fare  and  the  most  liberal  transfer 
privileges. 

It  is  possible  to  ride  37  miles  on  the  Surface  Lines  on  the  pay- 
ment of  one  fare,  and  the  average  ride  for  one  fare  is  more  than  4 
miles,  the  longest  of  any  street  railway  in  the  world. 

More  than  1,000  miles  of  track  reach  practically  every  section 
of  the  city.  The  tracks  are  built  generally  on  section  and  half  sec- 
tion lines  and  no  place  in  the  city  is  more  than  a  short  walk  from 
street  car  service. 

The  roadbed  and  equipment  of  the  Surface  Lines  is  well  main- 
tained and  is  up-to-date  in  every  particular.  The  equipment  includes 
3,639  cars.  The  cars  are  modern  in  design  and  are  equipped  with 
approved  safety  devices. 

To  operate  the  system  a  force  of  16,000  men  is  employed.  Of 
these  12,000  are  trainmen. 

The  properties  include  tvv^o  large  car  shops  where  cars  are  kept 
in  good  repair.  The  shops  are  also  equipped  for  the  construction  of 
new  cars.  There  are  16  modern  car  stations  equipped  for  housing, 
cleaning  and  repairing  cars. 

As  an  evidence  of  the  growing  importance  of  street  cars,  it  is 
worthy  of  note  that  there  were  83,000,000  more  rides  on  the 
Chicago  Surface  Lines  in  1925  than  in  1922.  There  was  a  total  of 
1,517,510,661  rides  in  1925. 

During  1926  all  previous  records  for  street  car  riding  in  Chicago 
have  been  broken  and  the  increase  in  riding  for  the  first  half  of 
the  year  was  more  than  the  total  increase  of  1925  over  the  previ- 
ous year.

A  LONG  STREET  CAR  RIDE 

The  Chicago  Surface  Lines  provide  the  longest  street  car  ride 
for  one  fare  and,  due  to  the  Hberal  transfer  privileges,  the  longest 
average  ride  of  any  street  car  system  in  the  world.  It  is  possible 
to  ride  more  than  40  miles  on  the  system  for  one  fare  by  the  use 
of  transfers.    The  average  ride  per  fare  is  more  than  4  miles. 

One  interesting  ride  directly  across  the  city  from  the  south  to 
the  north  city  limits,  which  can  be  made  for  one  fare,  is  3 1 .4  miles 
in  length.  It  covers  a  great  deal  of  the  most  interesting  part  of 
Chicago. 

Starting  at  138th  Street  and  Leyden  Avenue  on  the  Riverdale 
Line  the  passenger  rides  2.7  miles  to  119th  Street  and  Michigan 
Avenue  where  he  transfers  to  the  State  Street  line  and  rides  16.1 
miles  to  Division  Street.  At  Division  Street  he  transfers  to  the 
Broadway  line  and  rides  5  miles  to  Lawrence  Avenue,  transferring 
to  the  Lawrence*  Avenue  line  and  going  west  5  miles  to  Milwaukee 
Avenue.  At  Milwaukee  Avenue  he  transfers -to  the  Milwaukee  line 
and  rides  to  Devon  Avenue,  2.6  miles,  at  the  northern  boundary 
of  the  city.

Pullman  Car  Works,  goes  through  the  loop,  across  the  Chicago 
River,  along  the  west  side  of  Lincoln  Park,  through  the  Wilson 
Avenue  business  district,  across  th'e  North  Branch  of  the  Chicago 
River  and  finishes  at  the  Caldwell  Forest  Reserve  on  the  northwest

GROWING 
with  CHICAGO 

RAPID  growth  of  the  City  of  Chicago,  com' 
bined  with  ever-increasing  demand  for  electric 
light  and  power  for  the  City's  homes,  indus- 
tries and  transportation  systems  has  resulted  in  rapid 
growth  of  the  Commonwealth  Edison  Company. 

In  the  past  20  years  the  number  of  customers  has 
increased  19  times.  Output  has  increased  23.6  times 
with  an  increase  in  capitali2;ation  of  only  5.9  times. 

The  Company's  customers  now  total  more  than 
834,000  including  Chicago's  surface  and  elevated  rail- 
road lines  and  many  of  the  City's  largest  industrial 
concerns. 

The  new  Crawford  Avenue  power  house,  now  in 
operation,  will  have  an  eventual  capacity  of  750,000 
or  more  kilowatts  making  it  one  of  the  world's  largest 
steam-operated  central  stations.  The  Company's  gen- 
erating and  storage-battery  capacity  is  now  963,000 
kilowatts. 

Stockholders  total  more  than  42,000.  More  than 
85  per  cent  of  these  investors  are  customers  of  the 
Company — reflecting  Chicago's  growing  appreciation 
of  the  Company's  dependable  service.
